<p>I have listened to her rant about this since 2009. Last week I turned to her and finally asked, "How can you hate socialized health care so much, but have no problem cashing the check you get from providing it?" *crickets* She became as silent as a church mouse.</p>

<p>"national tear duct from Cincinnati, OH" That is the funniest thing I've heard in a while! hahaha</p>
<p>What an awesome reply Pat! That's a pretty accurate perception of the Orange-a-fide John Boehner! Every time I see him he looks like the guy who is still at the bar long after last call!</p>
<p>I'm not sure what's more pathetic. The fact that they lie through their teeth or the fact their Constituency is too stupid to know the difference.</p>

<p>i was with my mom and her husband when the ACA ruling came down. my step father was devastated. when i asked him about individual parts of Obamacare, specifically about pre-existing conditions, he said "no, they shouldn't be covered. they made their bed. if it's bad luck well that's just their lot in life." </p>
<p></p>
<p>that is what Conservatives feel but cannot say. sad and a wee bit scary.</p>

<p>Talk about some sore-assed losers. The cable news squawk box was filled with them yesterday. I especially liked the interview of John Boehner (Speaker of the House and national tear duct from Cincinnati, OH) on Meet the Press. While expressing his phony outrage over the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, he suddenly started getting uncomfortable. He was asked about specifics in the law, <em>e.g. </em>not getting booted for pre-existing conditions, keeping children on till age 26,…</p>
<p>Talk about some sore-assed losers. The cable news squawk box was filled with them yesterday. I especially liked the interview of John Boehner (Speaker of the House and national tear duct from Cincinnati, OH) on Meet the Press. While expressing his phony outrage over the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, he suddenly started getting uncomfortable. He was asked about specifics in the law, <em>e.g. </em>not getting booted for pre-existing conditions, keeping children on till age 26, coverage for minor children, and the penalty (tax) being substantially less than what Mitt Romney had passed in Massachusetts, and if he would gut those provisions. No answer. Then, he was asked about the specifics of what he proposed in its stead. No answer. The poor guy started sounding like Porky Pig, "Well, uhh, uhh, ba-dee, ba-dee, ba-dee, that's all folks." The poor slob couldn't think of one single thing. </p>
<p>Strangely enough, when Rep. Senator Orin Hatch proposed an individual mandate in 1993 as an alternative to Clinton's health care proposal, he garnered a number of Republican supporters, including Newt Gingrich. I guess it's only when the black guys proposes it, that the US will cease to exist.</p> http://www.huffingtonpost.com…tag:atheistnexus.org,2012-07-02:2182797:Comment:19951012012-07-02T14:28:06.693Zmatthew greenberghttp://atheistnexus.org/profile/matthewgreenberg
